    Stier and Berger build 60-87 68th Road from a few standard plans, working through the party walls

    60-87 is part of the 1909 Stier row on 68th Road. Stier and Berger built quickly by repeating a handful of floor plans: most houses were about 20 feet wide, with a five-room apartment on the first floor and six-room flats above, each with its own kitchen and bathroom. Relieving arches in the brick party walls appear to have stayed open during construction, so workers could pass from house to house without using the stoops.
